it seems wget only use it for

  str = strcasestr(str, "charset=");

when parsing text mime headers

i'll just note here that glibc has sse4.2 optimization for
strcasestr.. in case someone runs into performance troubles
finding the charset in mime headers..

(they tolower by 16bytes and find match with vectorized operations)
